  • The turnover was €8,447k in 2019, an 117% increase compared to 2018 (€3,890k). This strong growth is primarily due to the global partnership signed with Sanofi in July 2019 concerning the Mallya device dedicated to insulin pens. The growth rate is also the result from sustained development activities of all BIOCORP's businesses. As a result, revenues generated by the connected devices activity increased last year by 470% to €6,380k compared to €1,120k a year earlier.
  • In 2019, other operating revenues amounted to €824k compared to (€120k) in 2018. This strong growth rate is mainly due to the recognition of outstanding production that generated an invoicing of €1 million in January 2020.
  • Operating expenses amounted to €8,396k, down 7% compared to 2018. This decrease is the consequence of controlled expenses, mainly on the subcontracting item and the payroll.
  • Thus, the operating result for 2019 is positive at €87k compared with a negative result of (€5,269k) in 2018.
  • The financial result for 2019, which amounted to (€158k) compared to (€262k) in 2018, is mainly due to the result of interest on bonds. The Exceptional Result for the financial year amounts to €81k compared to (€107k) on 12/31/2018.
  • BIOCORP benefited last year from RTC (Research Tax Credit) and ITC (Innovation Tax Credit) for a total amount of €161k. In 2018, the claim had been evaluated at €243k for the RTC and €89k for the ITC.
  • Taking into account all these elements, BIOCORP comes out with a positive net result of €960k against a loss of € 5,305k in 2018. This profitability is achieved one year ahead of the company's strategic plan.
  • As a result, on 31 December 2019, BIOCORP shows a strong increase in its available cash at € 2,006k compared to € 1,341k on 31 December 2018.

2019 highlights:

  • Signature of a first strategic partnership with the American company AgaMatrix concerning the Mallya device in combination with blood glucose monitoring solutions
  • Strategic alliance with the Israeli company DreaMed Diabetes for the digitalization of diabetes by AI (Artificial Intelligence).
  • Completion of a €1 million capital increase through a private placement in March 2019.
  • Winner of the 2019 Growth Companies Grand Prize awarded by the French Ministry of Economy and Finance.
  • CE marking (class II-b) for the Mallya connected device.
  • Exclusive negotiations with SANOFI concerning Mallya (a €4 million up-front payment).
  • Commercial launch of the Injay connected syringe.
  • 10-year production contract with VITROBIO PHARMA and extension of automated manufacturing lines.
  • Worldwide partnership with SANOFI on Mallya (new payment of 2 M€).
  • Evolution of BIOCORP's governance: dissociation of the functions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.

Post-period events:

  • Reinforcement of the partnership with SANOFI around Mallya: new payment of €1M with an additional €12M spread out until the end of 2021, bringing the total contract to more than €20M. This amount does not include future revenues generated by the production of the devices.
  • Marketing partnership with the American company iSage RX in the field of diabetes digitalization.
  • The COVID-19 epidemic exposes the Company to a slowdown or temporary suspension in the manufacturing of its raw materials and products. Most of the company’s products are manufactured at its plant in Issoire, France. However, at this date, the implementation of prolonged restrictive measures to control the epidemic or any other public health event in France could have an adverse effect on the Company's production operations. Each of these factors is likely to affect BIOCORP's business, operating income and financial position. The impacts related to the COVID-19 epidemic on BIOCORP's activities are still too uncertain at this stage for the Company to communicate on quantified forecasts.

Outlooks for 2020:

Eric Dessertenne, CEO, declares: "2019 has revealed our pioneering position in the digitalization of diabetes with the success of our Mallya connected solution, the only device in the world with a CE class II-b mark. Its adoption pharmaceutical giants such as SANOFI and forefront start up in the diabetes space such as Dreamed Diabetes or Agamatrix has been a strong signal of our technological lead. We hope to continue this momentum in 2020 with other international partnerships, not only in the field of diabetes but also for other diseases where digital technology offers real benefits to patients. BIOCORP is uniquely positioned in the connected delivery device segment, with a technological lead and major partnerships. We intend to accelerate our deployment and partnerships over the next few years to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity".
